I had a catheter so I never knew I was peeing but I was! Once they took it out I had no problem at all.

Coming up on my first year and is funny now but sure was'nt then.I had my surgery in Houston and anyone from there knows what it is like coming from downtown. You don't just pull off the freeway anyplace. I did'nt have to go before I left the suirgi-center so off I went in my shorty pj's and a short robe.About half way home I had to go very badly and by the time my hubby found a place I thought well I am just gonna have to pee my pants. I told him to run in and see if they had a bathroom cause it was'nt easy for me to get in and out and I did'nt want to be arrested for peeing in his parking lot. Well he had one and hubby came and got me and the bathroom was very small and my hubby would'nt leave me and we could'nt shut the door. I finally told him I really don't care just stand in the doorway, but anyway oh yeah you will more than likely go right away.

By the way good luck on your band would'nt trade mine for anything and yes I do need to change my ticker. I am almost at goal.:)

Are you talking about PRE surgery? If so -- I was told not to worry too much if I couldn't pee. My surgery wasn't until 11 am and I couldn't drink after midnight so I figured I wouldn't be able to pee. They said they could draw blood instead, to get the labs they needed (which was basically just a pregnancy test, just to be safe). Since I have great veins, I didn't fret. But I ended up being able to pee a little bit. Don't worry about it.

If you are talking about post-surgery, I dunno. I was cath'd until about 7 pm. Some docs don't cath, some do. But not long after it was removed, I was up and peeing by myself. Not very much, though. You do retain a lot of Water after surgery.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
